Thanks to Claire Santry for flagging up that the new free burials database from Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council is finally now live (in test phase) at https://antrimandnewtownabbey.gov.uk/residents/cemeteries/. I tweeted just over a month ago that I was looking forward to this being released, following an article in the Newtownabbey Times published on February 5th (See https://www.newtownabbeytoday.co.uk/news/politics/council/online-burial-search-initiative-antrim-and-newtownabbey-council-3125265).
The cemeteries included are in the following areas:
- Antrim
- Ballyclare
- Belmont
- Carnmoney (Main and East)
- Crumlin
- Mallusk
- Sixmile
- Rashee Cemetery
- Umgall
Burial grounds not included:
- Cranfield
- Drummaul
- Kilbride
- Milltown
- Muckamore
- Templepatrick
Let's just say I may not get a lot of work done today! (I have lots of folk in Carnmoney!)
